Comment on Basic file sharing but with the ability to sync with other users.

Im having a hard time understanding the constellation of your current setup. From what i understand you have:
- You and your wifes phones
- A shared laptop with two accounts
- A server running FBQ and or syncthing?
The way i see it you could just use syncthing for all of these, no need for FBQ.
If you need FBQ though i dont think having a single folder synced by both FBQ and syncthing will cause any issues as long as they arent acting in parallel.
So device1 <syncthing> device2 <FBQ> device3 should be fine, but device1 <syncthing + FBQ> device2 <FBQ> device3 might cause issues in my experience with doing the same with nextcloud.
I have a setup where i use a nextcloud server that keeps file version history. Then i have a laptop that is connected to the server through nextcloud. That laptop then syncs that same nextcloud connected folder through syncthing to like ~10 other laptops. So basically all the laptops talk to each other to stay in sync through syncthing and then one of those laptops also syncs everything to a nextcloud server for version control.

Almost there: You and your wifes phones -> YES A shared laptop with two accounts -> YES A server running FBQ and or syncthing? -> NO, currently only Syncthing but was considering FBQ to solve the sharing bit.
Although I think I get what you are saying. I think Syncthing can be setup to keep backup copies but not exactly the same as versioning I guess. Maybe I just have to go back to something more similar to Nextcloud but that is not Nextcloud like OwnCloud Infinite Scale or Opencloud.

Versioning is a whole other topic ofc, but just for syncing i dont quite get what the issue is?
This should be perfectly doable with your current syncthing-only setup no?
